can't cut with file list, don't know why

[void_hero]

Hi Team,
version:
Version 1.5.0.1378a (x64)

scenario:

as the attached test file & screenshot showed, by accident, noticed that:
with file list, it' unable to cut the file(s), with the option being grey;

question:
in previous verion, it's ok to cut with file list, hence, not sure is it a bug or something else to consider?

expectation:
can cut the file(s) with file list.

Thanks for the consideration & possible fulfilment.

(Just worked for me, with a file, & a file list, on my end.)


Maybe it is a permissions issue since presumably those files belong to "Administrator", & you, as a regular User, do not have permission to take (cut) those files?

If you, as a User, open Windows Explorer to /Administrator/Desktop/ (or can you even do that ?), can you then CUT said files?

as the screenshot, it's Administrator permission to run the Everything, what's more, i'm Administrator to run the Operation System, so i think it's permission granted for me.

i thought it's path issue(not exist there, while they existed actually).

so, don't know why, is there any other reasons?

Regards,

Just to make sure:
if you select Properties from the context menu of one of these files shown in the screenshot, do you see its size and date?
If not: you (= the account used to run Everything) have not enough access to these files.

(the context menu is missing quite a few typical entries for a text file btw. Like set run count, edit, print, ..)

The cut menu item will be disabled if filelist_context_menu is disabled.

Please try enabling filelist_context_menu:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  filelist
• Select: filelist_context_menu
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

(filelist_context_menu should be enabled by default. However, some alpha versions did experiment with having it disabled by default)



The cut menu item will be disabled if allow_cut is disabled.

Please make sure allow_cut is set to 1 in your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe:

• In Everything 1.5, from the File menu, click Exit.
• Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
  (Everything-1.5a.ini for the alpha version)
• Change the following line:
  allow_cut=0
  to:
  allow_cut=1
• Save changes and restart Everything.

(allow_cut=1 is the default)

Hi, I have a slightly different issue, I can't cut and paste files as well but not because the options are blacked out, but because it always copy instead of move when I paste. When I select a file or folder from the filelist and either use the shortcut or context menu to cut, then go to the directory in explorer to paste it'll always copy.

I have checked my settings and filelist_context_menu is true, allow_cut in the ini file is 1.

I am using Version 1.5.0.1380a (x64) Version 1.5.0.1382a (x64).

I apologize I didn't know there was a newer version, I have updated to the newest version and the same problem still exists.
